My summer fragrance?

I really don't understand the rather negative review, of course I admittedly don't have an expert nose but I find this fragrance really GOOD, so really GOOD GOOD. It starts with a very deep mandarin / orange, and develops into a (in my opinion) much more masculine orange and leather scent, so for me this is an absolute feel-good fragrance and a fragrance that I will buy as a full bottle again for a long time.

While writing, my arm smells like a tangerine peel has been rubbed on it, it's a dream.

Not to mention that the bottle is a dream and the sillage and duration really don't come from a bad house either.

Try it without looking at the rating if you are looking for a great masculine orange fragrance, I am very happy with it.

I didn't expect that, really nice!

Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver definitely surprised me in a positive way.
With this perfume you get a really nice scent for the summer.

A great clementine-tangerine blend in the opening with super fine greenish hints come to the nose here.
It is subtly fruity and sweet and I find that very positive.
In a Mandarino from Labotorio Olfattivo, for example, the mandarin is very sweet, absolutely overripe. That doesn't really suit my personal taste, but here it's more pleasant and has been solved really nicely.

The mix of mandarin and clementine has a pleasant greenish undertone. It harmonizes perfectly and creates a great overall picture.

Over time, some iris enters the scene, as well as some moss and vetiver.
The fragrance moves towards the end mainly on a mossy vetiver trail. However, a greenish hint can still be felt here too.
However, the mandarin and clementine are no longer perceptible here.

In my opinion, the fragrance also performs quite well.
I was positively surprised by the longevity.
My skin takes to the fragrance really well and it lasts for about 6-8 hours. The sillage is noticeably weaker, but I can still sniff the fragrance around me every now and then for the first two hours.

Wearable unisex?
Definitely yes!

The most underrated summer fragrance

I honestly wonder why more people don't talk about Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver. Admittedly, the name is unimaginative and doesn't really stick, but the fragrance does. In a jungle of 0815 summer fragrances and the 10000th Imagination clone, this one clearly stands out.

It starts with a fresh, tangy clementine... or mandarin... or orange. Or whatever we eat by the kilo at Christmas and which is easier to peel. This fruity freshness is very present at the beginning, then recedes into the background where it lingers until the end. Its little sister, lime, is always running behind.
What follows is a mixture of green notes, a tiny bit of warmth and a hint of leather and iris in the very far background.
Despite notes that seem heavy, the fragrance always retains its lightness but is an aboslutely complex masterpiece.
The vetiver is well supported by the fig leaf. The two notes harmonize perfectly and yet I can smell them quite well. Green and woody but never too masculine, thanks to Aunt Iris.
I get nothing from hazelnut, but I imagine I can detect this hint of roasting.

I think this mix of light and quite heavy notes for summer is the reason why Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver lasts really well. It accompanies you through a wonderful summer day without any problems. Always well-groomed and yet present enough to be recognized as a perfume.
I find it much more complex, more exciting and simply more beautiful than the eau de toilette.
Molton Brown is also great value for money. You get a wonderful summer partner here with a fantastically beautiful bottle (these spheres as lids also invite you to collect several fragrances from the brand) at a really good price.
I wish it would get more attention.

The first summer fragrance I bought in winter!

It all started with a sample that I received after buying this fragrance in the local perfumery. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, as I'm not really a big fan of fresh fragrances - and even in winter. Nevertheless, I sprayed this sample onto a test strip at some point. I went away, came back. Sprayed it again. Went away again, came back. It went on like that for a few days, and I've never had that before, to be honest. I kept thinking: "Wow, that's really nice."

Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver starts with a beautiful and extremely fresh/juicy clementine (lime is also subtly present in the background). This opening lasts an unusually long time, definitely two hours (with a decreasing effervescence). Then comes the second part of the fragrance: vetiver. I think it's really great that Molton Brown has already described what you get with the name here - nobody can complain about this progression, because it comes exactly in the order noted in the name. This slightly sweet citrus is offset incredibly nicely by the green vetiver and moss, which makes it not a youthful scent. The almost woody-green base that is always present in the background prevents it from becoming a citrus fragrance of the masses. Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver is a more established fragrance that has a timeless character.

I like its grown-up appeal, freshness and progression. It's what I really appreciate alongside the more youthful summer fragrances, with adequate sillage for the first three hours (moderate after that), strong longevity on me of at least eight hours and always that mouth watering character when you spray it on. For me, it was one of the biggest purchase surprises in 2024!

I drive from Split to...

... Dubrovnik. On this route you pass through the Neretva Delta where mandarins are grown. There are small stalls selling mandarins all along the road. It's very warm and I'm suddenly tempted by a mandarin. I stop at one of the stalls. I get out of the car and immediately catch the scent of these citrusy fruits. An older gentleman smiles at me and asks me to try a mandarin. I do and it is so delicious. I buy a bag and drive on.

When you apply this fragrance, the first thing you notice is a light, sweet, citrusy freshness. This is followed by something green and mossy with floral, fruity notes. At the very end, something nutty comes knocking. The leather is also only very delicately perceptible before this fragrance becomes dry and powdery.

The durability and silage are good.

Here we have an elegant unisex fragrance that can be worn without limits from the age of 18. It is a fragrance that is refreshing on warm and hot days and puts you in a good mood when applied on cold days. During the day, it can be worn in jeans with a T-shirt or shirt just as well as in a suit with or without a tie. In the evening, it's perfect for a beach or garden party or even for a first date with your sweetheart.

If you like a fresh citrusy slightly sweet green mossy floral fruity nutty dry powdery slightly leathery fragrance, you're in good hands here.
